A language is a system of communication that consists of a set of sounds and written symbols that are used by the people of a particular country or region for talking or writing. Imagine, if the speaker and the receiver are not using the same language, there is no point of communication. If the other person is not able to understand what you are trying to say, the communication is totally ineffective. There are many languages in the World, but only one Language i.e. English which is being spoken around the Globe and which facilitates cross-cultural communication between different regions and nations.
